Spatial mapping reveals multi-step pattern of wound healing in Physarum polycephalum

, 2017
Wounding is a severe impairment of function, especially for an exposed organism like the network-forming true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. The tubular network making up the organism's body plan is entirely interconnected and shares a common ...

Physarum polycephalum: Smart Network Adaptation

Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics
Life evolved organisms to adapt dynamically to their environment and autonomously exhibit behaviors. Although complex behaviors in organisms are typically associated with the capability of neurons to process information, the unicellular organism Physarum polycephalum disabuses us by solving complex tasks despite being just a single although gigantic ...

Nanomaterials as Microglia Modulators in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disorders

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 12, May 7, 2024.
Microglia activation states M1 and M2, besides their physiological roles, play key roles in the onset and progression of various CNS disorders. The modulation of microglia activity using nanomaterials represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of these diseases (created with BioRender.com).

Slime mould imitation of Belgian transport networks: redundancy, bio-essential motorways, and dissolution

, 2011
Belgium is amongst few artificial countries, established on purpose, when Dutch and French speaking parts were joined in a single unit. This makes Belgium a particularly interesting testbed for studying bio-inspired techniques for simulation and analysis

How vulnerable is an undirected planar graph with respect to max flow

Networks, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 570-586, April 2024.
Abstract We study the problem of computing the vitality of edges and vertices with respect to the st$$ st $$‐max flow in undirected planar graphs, where the vitality of an edge/vertex is the st$$ st $$‐max flow decrease when the edge/vertex is removed from the graph. This allows us to establish the vulnerability of the graph with respect to the st$$ st

Sustainable sweetpotato production in the United States: Current status, challenges, and opportunities

Agronomy Journal, Volume 116, Issue 2, Page 630-660, March/April 2024.
Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is an important staple crop cultivated in over 100 countries, and the storage roots and vines provide food for humans and livestock. Sweetpotato consumption and demand for its value‐added products have increased significantly in the last two decades and have led to new cultivar development, expansion in acreage,
